More Fertility Resources
Although many educational materials about fertility and reproductive medicine
exist, you want the most accurate information from reputable sources, such as:
Other resources include DVDs Infertility Explained and Technostorks, as
well as books such as The Conception Chronicles, Conquering Infertility,
The Baby Trail: A Novel, The Right Fit: A Novel, Waiting for Daisy and
A Few Good Eggs.
Fertility Preservation & Cancer
Even if you face a cancer condition, you want the ability to make your
own family planning decisions. Although you may experience many side effects
of cancer, fertility depends on the type of cancer, treatment, surgery,
age and overall health.
Preserving fertility involves saving or protecting eggs, sperm or reproductive
tissue. Children and teens with cancer also have reproductive options.
For best results, talk with your doctors about fertility preservation
before beginning cancer treatment.
Fertility Preservation Before Cancer Treatment

gain access to advanced fertility preservation services that give you

Dr. Lisa Moon, part of OU Health Pediatric & Adolescent Gynecology
Services, about more choices for
preserving fertility in children. Call (405) 271-6208.
